After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

Gu Linglong has been reincarnated.

She often felt that she was out of place in Heaven because she wasn't stupid enough.

When she woke up again, she felt surrounded by warm water, which was very comfortable. She even blew a few bubbles.

Suddenly, she seemed to hear a cold, mechanical voice.

Ding!

"Congratulations, host! Your target's favorability has reached 100%. You have successfully won over Madam Gu. Now, as a reward, you will receive 10% of someone else's luck. Please choose Madam Gu or the unborn child as your target."

A semi-transparent screen appeared in front of Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao answered excitedly, "I choose Mrs. Gu."

"Yes, host, extraction successful."

What the heck? Before she could even hear or understand what was going on, she heard the midwife's panicked voice, "Something terrible has happened! Madam Gu is having a difficult labor..."

"Madam Gu is too weak. The baby is stuck here. We need to decide quickly whether to save the mother or the baby..."

The servants were so frightened that they knelt down with a thud. The head maid, Chunhe, was so frightened that her face turned pale and her teeth were trembling.

"Midwife, please, we must save both the lady and the child. Please, please think of something!"

The midwife looked troubled; she had seen this situation many times before, and could only save one.

"Sigh... I'll try my best to get Madam to put the ginseng slice in her mouth and see if she can."

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes slightly and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen to stew a chicken for my sister-in-law and send someone to call my brother while I'm at it."

After saying that, she turned and left; she didn't want to stay in such an unlucky place.

Gu Linglong felt like her head had been squeezed into a triangle.

Madam Gu was covered in sweat, her hands gripping the blanket tightly, but for some reason, she suddenly felt powerless.

She spoke weakly, "Chun... Chunhe... you... you must save the children. Please... please tell the master that I'm sorry, please... please take good care of the children."

After explaining everything, Madam Gu breathed a sigh of relief. Her head gradually felt heavy, and her pupils became somewhat unfocused.

Chunhe's heart skipped a beat: "Madam, please hold on, don't sleep. Master and Second Master have gone on their inspection tour, and Miss Lin has already sent someone to fetch them."

The maidservant brought over some ginseng slices and gently placed them in Madam Gu's mouth.

Upon hearing this, Gu Linglong thought, "Difficult childbirth? Madam Gu? Lin Xiaoxiao? Wasn't this the storybook I was reading while resting by the Spirit Spring?"

The Regent's Beloved

She was tricked by the Heavenly Court into becoming a deity, but ended up feeding pigs for ten years.

Ten years. Do you know how she spent those ten years?

In a fit of anger, she fought with the plague god who mocked her, destroyed the sacred spring, and was banished to the mortal realm.

If I failed to be reincarnated and instead transmigrated into a book, wouldn't I be destined to die young?

Are the whole family just cannon fodder who can't cultivate and have been exiled?

I am a majestic White Tiger, born naturally from the essence of heaven and earth, and I am born with my own destiny.

He was the undisputed king of beasts, yet he transmigrated into a book and became cannon fodder?

This cannon fodder fate? Which author wrote this?

He should ideally have both eyes taking turns standing guard while he sleeps at night!

But the current situation makes it seem like the baby died in the womb before it was even born.

Gu Linglong was anxious and desperately tried to reach the source of the light.

[Mommy, Mommy, hurry up and work hard, or I'll die! Don't you want to see me, I'm so cute?]

The drowsy Madam Gu seemed to hear a weak, childish voice calling her "Mother."

Was it her unborn child calling her? Was she hallucinating?

[Mommy, can you hear me? Don't sleep! If you keep sleeping, you really won't be able to see me anymore. Even if you save me, people will laugh at me for being a child without a mother.]

Madam Gu's heart tightened; she heard it again, it wasn't a hallucination.

The child is so young and can't speak, could this be the child's own voice?

[Waaaaah... Mother, without your protection, my brother and I will be bullied.]

A child without a mother is like a blade of grass.

Madam Gu's heart ached terribly. She couldn't just leave this world like this; she couldn't let her child be bullied.

Perhaps it was the strength of motherhood, but as Madam Gu sucked on the ginseng slices, she gradually regained her strength. She gripped the bedding beneath her and strained with all her might.

Gu Mingtang rushed over upon receiving news of his wife's difficult childbirth, pacing anxiously outside the door.

He watched the maid carrying bloody water back and forth, and his anxiety grew even stronger.

Tell the midwife, "If it's a difficult childbirth, save the lady; you must save the lady."

The maid nodded tremblingly.

"what…"

The midwife's scream reached her ears, and she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, her face pale.

"Tanuki, Madam, you gave birth to a dead tanuki! This...this...this is an ominous sign!"

Madam Gu's heart skipped a beat, her face filled with horror and disbelief. How could this be? She had just heard her child call her "Mother."

"Bring...bring...bring it here so I can see it."

Gu Mingtang rushed in and immediately spotted the dead cat in the midwife's arms, causing him to take a step back in fright.

Gu Linglong couldn't shout because her mouth was sealed shut; her face turned bluish-purple from straining.

[Mother, Mother, I'm not a raccoon dog! I'm in the midwife's sling! My mouth is sealed shut, I'm about to suffocate!]

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's fingers trembled as she pointed to the midwife's cloth bag.

"Master, bring...bring the midwife's diaper bag."

The midwife's face paled, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on her back. "Madam, these are just the birthing tools I brought. There's nothing to see."

Gu Mingtang snatched it away, and Madam Gu took it and pulled out an infant. She burst into tears of joy, but when she saw that her daughter's mouth and nose were covered, she trembled with anger and threw a pillow at the midwife.

The midwife cried out in pain.

Gu Mingtang kicked the midwife, knocking her to the ground.

"You audacious witch, how dare you harm my child! Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

The midwife trembled with fear, repeatedly kowtowing, "Master, spare me, master!"

"Guards, take her away and lock her up. I will interrogate her myself later."

Several older nannies immediately stepped forward, covered the midwife's mouth and nose, and dragged her away.

Gu Mingtang sat down on the edge of the bed, while Madam Gu carefully tore off the seal on Gu Linglong's clothes.

"Wow wow wow..."

Gu Linglong cried a few times as a symbolic gesture.

Gu Mingtang, a high-ranking official of the first rank, was so gentle and considerate in front of his wife. He wiped away Madam Gu's tears.

"Why are you crying? Our child is perfectly fine."

Madam Gu choked back tears, "My lord, it's a daughter. Please hold her."

Chunhe took the lead and knelt down.

Congratulations, sir and madam, on the birth of your daughter!

Gu Mingtang grinned from ear to ear, finally getting what he wanted.

"Reward them all, increase their monthly allowance by one month."

"Thank you, Master Xie, Madam Xie."

Gu Mingtang carefully took Gu Linglong from him.

[This is my dad! He's so handsome!]

Grandma's soft, sweet voice rang in my ears

Gu Mingtang's hand trembled, and he almost dropped Gu Linglong.

What is this sound?

[Dad was handsome, but a bit dark-skinned. Such a handsome dad died young, sob sob...]

Gu Mingtang's hand trembled again. He looked around and found that no one else was speaking, and the voice was very childish.

Could this be my daughter's true feelings?

He was overjoyed inside, but didn't show it on his face, he chuckled.

I can hear my little darling's thoughts.

The eldest son, Gu Yu'an, the second son, Gu Liyao, and the third son, Gu Zimo, arrived at the room one after another.

Gu Yu'an nervously wiped the sweat from his palms.

"Dad, can I hug my little sister?"

Gu Mingtang handed it over with a reluctant expression, saying, "Be careful, don't drop your little sister."

"Do not worry"

Gu Yu'an held Gu Linglong in his arms and bounced her around a bit. "Little sister seems to be a little chubby."

Gu Linglong: "..."

Gu Mingtang glared at him. "Not fat at all, only a little over 10 pounds."

"..."

Gu Yu'an expressed some doubt: Ten pounds isn't fat?

"What's your name, little sister?"

Gu Mingtang scratched his head: "After Grain Rain, the flowers bloom profusely. I've already seen Yu Linglong before, so let's call her Gu Linglong."

Ah, ah, I love this name!

Gu Mingtang felt even more smug; this was a name he had been considering for a long time.

Second Brother Gu Liyao looked at Gu Linglong's pointed head and said.

"Then let's call him Sijian (四尖) as his nickname."

"Ranked fourth, four sharp notes, how lovely that sounds!"

Gu Linglong: "..."

Damn it, I still have a royal flush!

Gu Mingtang slapped the second son on the back of the head.

"If you're uncultured, don't try to take over."

Gu Yu'an smiled and said, "I came to see my younger sister and also to say goodbye to Father and Mother. Bandits are running rampant in Liu Family Village, and the government is forming a righteous army. I want to join them, and I hope Father and Mother will agree."

Gu Linglong was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

[Big brother, you can't go, you can't go...]
